[Q] Xperia Ray-Flashing kernal - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi friends,
I am pretty new to this forum and before a couple of days i did a research regarding Flashing Kernals and Roms(Dont knw whether my concepts regarding that is right or wrong) and currently i have installed Cyanogen 9.1 for my device.Now let me ask a couple of questions i have for you guys.
1.Will I be able to update my phone and bring back to old ICS firmware via SUS once i brick my phone(I have already unlocked the bootloader via fastboot method)?
2.Evrytime when i flash the Rom(say CM9) i used to flash kernal(boot.img) for the respective rom.Is this necessary all the time?
Will i able to flash a GB rom on ICS kernal(I am afraid to give it a test)?
3.Regarding CM9.1 which i have installed ryt now,I am satisfied with the performance,but i want a stable ROM wud make me happy with a better battery life unlike CM9.1.So could you pls suggest me a GB/ICS ROM which wud have a stable performance with descent battery life.
4.After using GB for a long time,i was very much addicted with the Phone pad kinda keyboard,but when ICS came into picture everything vanished,Smartkeyboard Pro is no gud,Touchpal is conjusted,i want the exact GB keyboard in ICS.Any ideas?!!
Regards

Phone: Xperia Ray
Bootloacker:Unlocked
ROM: GB Stock Rom

1. U need to relock ur bootloader to update ur phone through SUS
2.no need of of flashing kernel every time u flash...if its a stock based Rom u need a stock based kernel...
And u cant fhash ics on top GB kernel..
3.search around ray development forum and try some roms and choose which is best for u..
4.CM9 has a different type of keyboard..some stock based keyboard wont work...but Xperia s keyboard will work..

Until now I have never flashed myphone with custom rom using xRecovery or flashtool and now I am now on the latest 2.1 update and couldn't wait until the GINGERBREAD update
I can't understand which rom should I flash my x10 It is on BB .54
Could you help me to suggest me a rom for my BB .54 ???

Personaly i use freex10 beta4 and it is flaweless for me no wlods or unexpected reboots. Very fast and ready for customisation.

I use Wolfbreak's ROM. It's very stable.
The camera is the stock android one but it does 8 Meg pics and 720p video
I've been going back and forth between Wolf's & Rendeiro's custom 2.2 ROM. They are essentially the same but Wolf just released an update recently. Feel free to try both then decide for yourself. Once you get the hang of things then checkout Jerpelea's custom 2.3 gingerbread rom.

[Q]Xperia P unlock now or wait?

I have a stock xperia P which I plan to run custom kernel and ROM like krabappel2548's KA, with the final target of custom ICS ROM.
The question is does it matter if i unlock now and goes custom GB kernel and ROM, or I wait and get official Sony ICS, then move to custom ICS?
My concern is will custom GB kernel and ROM made getting to ICS difficult and riskier?
Personally I think it doesn't matter, but it is better to ask.
No, it won't be any harder. You will just need to flash an FTW when it's out.

ROMS For Xperia S, Suggestions.

KA11Xperia Speed Doesn't work on my device and neither does the kernel so don't suggest these
Also can you suggest some kernels that won't put my device into a boot loop
here's the thing seems you dont want ka11 why dont u use ka10.2 they say its more stable, and then install advanced ics stock kernel or xsx kernel,so u wont get bootloop,
theres also the stable version of cm9 its out now,
you should try different roms so that you can tell whats fits for you,
theres also mooded version and miui rom available, just go ahead and try it all, and choose which fits you best
goodluck.

New to the note

I have Straight Talk,
4.0.4
kernel 3.0.8
build
IMM76D.UCLF6
I also have SU and CM 5.5
Wondering what Rom will give me the best performance (battery a life +) , do I need to have a different kernel to upgrade to JB? What about a different BL , it was a royal time waster upgrading my Acer A500 from GB to ICS , Does it even matter being on Straight Talk , I mean just the ATT roms work fine , but I like to experiment , I dont want to go hog wild because this is the only fone I got right now and I need it , but a custom rom is always better!
Can you guys tell me about the kernels to roms and if I stay with a stock kernel can use what roms (I mean with 4.0.4 this ICS ,how do I go about JB?) i KNOW i FEEL LIKE A NOOB HERE, but its different ,plus Ive been doing winfone 7 for 2 years , just got to get back into it!

Best roms for arc s

hello guys , i am gonna talk about the arc s and what is the best rom for arc s i will not put any links if u want the link of any rom i will talk about just reply what rom do u want
of course i cant say what the best rom is because it depends on your using of the phone but if u like gaming and performance u better downgrade to gingerbread 2.3.7 and install gb rom its faster in games gives u the dual core experience such as :
atomic gb i personally tried this rom it is great but what is bad about it that there is alot of applications requires 4.x + android so in that case try cm9 ics its not bad.( better than cm10 )
if u like multitasking there are a lot of good roms for u cm isnt one of them ..... xperia ultimate hd is good in multitasking and giving u advanced settings , its not good in gaming though
jelly bean roms for arc s are not fast and smooth like ultimate hd and i think its because the arc s is only one core and cant handle the jelly bean since there is no official update i tried racing bean it is not that good and lighting cm .. alot of bugs , and u have to flash a diffrent kernel.
another problem is battery life it isnt good in any of these roms, except for atomic gb and the stock rom ofcourse i dont know why but maybe the overclocked kernel may cause it.
i wrote this thread by my personal experience i tried all these roms and more and these information i dont know just by reading threads , its like a year of experiencing and trying to make my arc s better .
if i helped please press the like button
if u have any question ill be happy to answer them

CM10.2 (Android 4.3) is running pretty good. I gave my Arc S to my Brother and he says that it is running fine.
Btw. I dont want to be rude, but please use more "." and ",", its very challenging to read your Post if anything is in one sentence
But 4.3 is running good, for Camera usage i recommend to download the Playstore App "Camera ICS", that should do that.
(If it isnt already fixed somehow.)
Cheers, ShockBuddy
i tried 4.2 cm on my arc s , it wasnt that good comparing to cm9 4.0
i tried alot of rom and cant find the best one there has to be something in every rom a bug or something
but i see videos of arc s running custom roms and running smoothly and lag free so i am looking for the best
Thank you
